What is the cost of having LLF manage our fund?

LLF charges an annual management fee of 1.25% (1% if the fund is over $1MM) of your fund’s balance, assessed monthly (1/12th). This fee covers all investment management, administrative services, compliance, reporting, and ongoing support. There are no setup fees, no transaction fees for contributions or distributions, and no hidden costs. Compared to the costs of establishing and maintaining a private foundation or managing investments independently, LLF’s fee structure is remarkably efficient. Moreover, our Matching Grant Programs often provide many times more value than the management fee, especially in your endowment’s early years.
